Do You Feel It Too?
Chapter 1
It was supposed to be a night of celebration.
"I'm going to be happy tonight Jackson, because this is a happy time and we should be celebration."
Jackson watched intently as April opened the door to Meredith's house and kicked off her shoes. She threw her keys on the counter and tied her hair up. He followed her into the kitchen and found himself fascinated with April at that very moment. She was barefoot, hair was a mess and yet, he couldn't stop himself from staring.
And that part scared him.
"I feel sick by the way. Sick to leave here…..to leave you."
"Earth to Jackson….." She nudged his arm lightly. And he mumbled "sorry."
He walked over to the fridge and grabbed a beer. "Want one?"
She shook her head and rubbed her eyes.
It had been a long night and she knew better.
Jackson + her+ alcohol=trouble
He walked over to where she was standing in the kitchen. He was so close she could feel his heart racing.
April wondered why his heart was racing. A guy like him could get any girl he wanted. Yet, he was standing there next to her. Do I make him nervous? No way, not possible. Or was it possible. Her life was a mess and nothing made sense anymore.
And that part scared her.
She was working up the courage to pull away from him when she looked up into his eyes.
Those eyes were very green...and very dangerous.
He put the beer bottle down and put one hand around her waist to pull her even closer to him.
Thump thump….Thump thump….Thump thump…..Thump thump
His lips barely touched hers when they were interrupted by the noise of both their pages and cell phones going off.
"Life changes in an instant…..turns on a dime."
1 week later
The wake for Lexie was held at Meredith's house. April had arranged the whole thing from the flowers to the food.
"April I can't thank you enough for everything you've done."
April smiled at Meredith and said, "I was happy to help. And if you need me to watch Zola or something. Just ask."
Meredith smiled and took April's hand in her own.
"Thank you"
Meredith had a new sadness to her.
She was different.
Everyone was different.
Jackson sat on the sofa in the living room amazed at how many people had shown. He knew not everyone in that house knew or actually associated with Lexi so he figured it had more to do with the fact that she was Meredith's sister. They came because she was a Grey.
He scanned the room looking for April. They hadn't spoken since last week and he hated the way things transpired between them.
"Jackson, please…just talk to me. "
He was angry.
"Just go away. I'll deal with this on my own. I don't need you April"
She was hurt.
He made his way into the kitchen and found April dicing up fruit. She had a knife in one hand and a piece of melon in the other. He took the knife from her hand and put it down on the cutting board.
"What the hell are you doing?"
She wanted to yell at him some more but just one look at him and she knew all he needed was a friend.
"I...Uh-…..I'm so sorry April. I didn't…And Lexis's gone and I just-I just…."
He didn't have to say anything else.
She wrapped herself around him and whispered "It's gonna be okay, you know that right?"
He knew only one thing for sure.
He did need her.
So I'm not sure if this will be a one-shot or a multi-chapter.
Thanks for reading...oh and review if you want ; )
